How has this thread gone 4 pages and no one pointed the arbitrariness of being a "first-ballot HOF"?
Unless the OP is mistaken, this dude isn't saying that the two aren't Hall of Famers...just that they don't deserve the prestige associated with being a "first ballot" inductee.
And after 2-3 years, no one gives a shyt which athlete went in on which ballot.
Police the dumb white boys, HHR. Stop saving them.
Man please.
That isn't even close to what was happening here.
I don't know who this dude is at all...and I don't give a fukk.
Only thing I said was that people are misreading the quote. Anything else is you dreaming up my rationale.
He probably was trolling....like I said, I have no idea who this dude is or his rep...or literally ANYTHING about him.
But there is a big difference between "These guys shouldn't be Hall of Famers" and "These guys shouldn't be first ballot Hall of Famers"....I mean, you understand that right?
There's no "well...he didn't mean..." twisting of words here. He literally said "FIRST BALLOT". I didn't see/hear this shyt or look into any further, I don't care that much.
Only one of us seems concerned with anyone's race here, I could give a fukk.
I just found it odd that damn near everyone in here was commenting on him saying they shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame.
how is saying they aren't first ballot hall of famers not trolling? Name all the first ballot HOF's from the current era of boxing
Both are HoFers, Mannix needs to kill that noise
They were going to the Hall of Fame before the thought of them fighting each other even happened.
Floyd is a undefeated World Champion that beat top tier competition in their prime...he's going in NO MATTER WHAT
